He Called His Wife A Spoiled Brat Because She Goes To Her Wealthy Dad For Everything
It can be difficult to try and build a future with someone who had a completely different kind of upbringing than yours.
One man has been struggling with his wife’s reliance on her wealthy father and recently fought with her after calling her a spoiled brat.
He and his wife are both 35-years-old. They’ve been in a relationship for 10 years and married for five years.
While they’re both currently working good jobs and making around the same amount of money each year, they came from very different financial circumstances.
His wife spent most of her childhood years being raised by her father, who is a wealthy surgeon.
“He’s wealthy, sent her to private school, paid for her college, and when we met a decade ago, he was still paying her rent even though she had a solid job,” he said.
Meanwhile, he grew up in a low-income family and didn’t live a life as comfortable as hers growing up.
While he’d like to put that all in the past, his wife is still heavily reliant on her father, and it’s beginning to affect their relationship.
“Anytime she wants or needs something, she goes to her dad first,” he explained.

“Sometimes it’s about things I could help with.”
The little things his wife asks of her father don’t bother him as much anymore. But now, she’s started getting her dad involved in some major financial decisions, and he’s uncomfortable with that.
Last year, his wife insisted that she needed a new car even though the one she was driving was perfectly fine. He tried to get her to go against the idea, as they share their finances, and he felt it was an unnecessary purchase.
She surprised him and told him she was getting one anyway and that her dad would be buying it for her. He felt the situation was ridiculous, but her dad went through with it and got her a brand-new car.
Now, he and his wife are looking to buy a house together, which is a process he really wants to keep between the two of them. However, without his permission, his wife got her dad involved and started making decisions about which home they should buy based on her dad’s opinions.
“I got a bit frustrated and said it didn’t matter what her dad thought because this is our family’s home, and he won’t be living there,” he recalled.
“She got angry, we started arguing, [and] we both said mean things. I called her a spoiled brat and said she needed to grow up.”
His wife became so upset when he called her a spoiled brat that she began sleeping in their guest room and isn’t speaking to him.
Did he go too far by calling his wife a spoiled brat, or did he have every right to be angry?
